He said: 'We're coming up close to the 10th anniversary, which is a really difficult time. It really stirs up so much in them. You can see their behaviour is slightly altered as a result.
'You can see it, and it's really difficult when your little babies are struggling or suffering with something that you can't take away.'
He said: '10 years ago something happened that I couldn't take away, and it's been a crazy 10 years. We've gone up, we've gone down, we've gone up and that's pretty much on a weekly basis.
The former Shipwrecked star said he wants to 'protect' his boys but hopes eventually they can get to a point where they can talk about their grief openly.

Jeff has been vocal about his efforts in helping others with grief, even penning the book The Grief Survival Guide.
Jade was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2009 and told her disease was terminal while she was appearing on the Indian version of Big Brother.
After her diagnosis, Jade's cancer spread to her bowel, liver and groin and she underwent a lengthy procedure to remove a golfball-sized tumour. She died on Mother's Day in March 2009.
In the year of Jade's very public battle with cancer, just as attendance at screenings began to decline, 0.4 million extra attendances occurred.
Jade's Legacy was a campaign set up to echo her call for more women to go for screening.
He said: 'You can see it, and it's really difficult when your little babies are struggling or suffering with something that you can't take away'
Jeff and Jade met in late 2002 after she leaped to fame in Big Brother. After just three months of dating, they found out she was pregnant with Bobby.
Both openly admitted the relationship had been volatile, and ended up splitting when Bobby was nine months old.
It was shortly afterwards, they found out Jade was pregnant was Freddie.
Jeff admitted they had a difficult relationship following Freddie's birth as they shared custody of the boys and it only improved when she was diagnosed with cancer just six months before she died.
Speaking about life with his sons, Jeff explained on Loose Women: 'As much as I try and be all and everything I can for them I can never replace mum.
'It's a sense of identity that they lose because you find out a lot about who you are in life through who your mum is and who your dad is.
'They've got one who's present and still there and trying to get as much right as he can and obviously they've lost that big character that was their mum, someone who would have given them twice as much unconditional love as they receive. It's hard on the kids.'
Jeff has kept his sons largely out of the public eyes since the death of their mother Jade.
The presenter found love with Kate Dwyer and married her with his two sons acting as best men in Portugal last year.

Speaking at a panel...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
